Localism Bill

Baroness Byford Excerpts

Tuesday 5th July 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord Shutt of Greetland]

I do not have it to hand, but I am pretty certain that they are to be published on 2 August. I think that that is the statutory date when the results of the consultation must be published so that people know what people have had to say, so that will be done.

[Baroness Byford]

Have those consultations finished, or are they ongoing?

[Lord Shutt of Greetland]

That formal consultation has now finished, but I am pretty certain that, bearing in mind that this is still going through your Lordships' House, other views will still be taken into account—but not in the formal consultation.
